Spark Check for spark at secondary coil wire and each spark plug wire using a spark tester. If spark is not present, continue with following tests. Check spark plug wire resistance on suspect wires. Resistance should be less than 25,000 ohms. Ignition Coil Power Source 1. On Civic, remove distributor cap to check power source directly at coil. On all models, disconnect ignition coil primary leads. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check voltage between ground and Black/Yellow wire terminal of ignition coil harness. 2. Battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is not present, check for open in Black/Yellow wire between coil and ignition switch. Ignitor Power Source Turn ignition off. Disconnect harness connector at distributor. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check for battery voltage between ground and Black/Yellow wire of harness. If voltage is not present, check for open in Black/Yellow wire between ignition coil and harness connector. If wire is okay, check ignition coil resistance (for internal short to ground). Ignitor Check Check TDC/CRANK/CYL sensor resistance values. See TACH PULSE SIGNAL . Check power sources. If no problems are found and spark is not present, replace ignitor. Ignition Coil Resistance (Accord & Prelude) 1. Remove primary and secondary leads from ignition coil. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between primary terminals “A” and “C” (“A” and “B” for Prelude) of ignition coil. See Fig. 2 . Resistance should be .6-.8 ohm at room temperature. 2. On Accord, check resistance between terminals “B” and “D” of ignition coil (tachometer circuit). Resistance should be about 2090-2310 ohms at room temperature. 3. On all models, check secondary resistance between terminal “A” and secondary output terminal (coil tower). See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table. Check for continuity between terminals “A” and “B” (“A” and “C” for Prelude). Continuity should exist. If readings are not within specification, replace coil.

ADJUSTMENTS PICK-UP COIL-TO-SIGNAL ROTOR (RELUCTOR) AIR GAP
1. Using a flat, non-magnetic feeler gauge, check air gap between pick-up coil pole piece and each reluctor tooth. Gaps should be equal and within specification. Pick-up coil air gap should be .008-.016″ (0.2-0.4
2. If not, loosen screws, and adjust pick-up coil air gap to specification. Tighten screws, and recheck air gap.
On Sprint models, remove control module before loosening pick-up coil. See Fig. 4 .

Some customers may experience a water leak at the front floor area. Water may be Introduction entering the body due to a body sealer void on the engine compartment rear wall, near the upper door hinge. Repair 1. Raise the vehicle. On the side of the vehicle that has the water leak, remove the front Procedure wheel and the front fender plastic liner. 2. Examine (with flash light and mirror) the body sealer condition on the engine compartment rear wall, near the upper door hinge. Also examine the sealer condition inside the inner fender box frame structure with access holes (see illustration).

1. Insert the first programmed ignition key into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to ON (maintain the ignition in ON for 1 second). 2. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the first key from the ignition lock cylinder. 3. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the second programmed ignition key into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to ON (maintain the ignition in ON for 1 second). 4. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the second key from the ignition lock cylinder. 5. Within 20 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the unprogrammed ignition key (new key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to START (attempt to start the vehicle). 6. If it is desired to program additional keys, repeat the key programming procedure from the beginning.
